      Modelling study of liquid crystals orientation in the presence of corrosion potential 

      Kossivas, P.; Kyprianou, Andreas (2010)
      The anchoring and orientation of liquid crystal (LC) molecules are influenced by several parameters. This paper presents theoretical work that aims to explain how surface changes and potential due to corrosion, affect the ...

      Progress in photothermal microscopy of YBa2Cu3O7-x 

      Studenmund, W. R.; Fishman, I. M.; Kino, G. S.; Giapintzakis, John (1998)
      We present recent differential optical reflectivity (DOR) measurements obtained at 633 nm (2.OeV), 780 nm (1.6eV), 1064 nm (1.16eV), and 1310nm (0.95 eV). We discuss calibration techniques which can correct for variations ...
